A pretty straightforward film.

'The Crew' starts off intriguing, as we meet Yanis, Eric & Co. to get a gist of what they're about. Then comes the big event, which precedes the finale. As mentioned, it's straight to the point - not much character development etc.

It all becomes a bit too predictable, with the ending concluding a little open-ended. A few other things slightly bugged me, like when the big things go down the roads are empty - made the world, at those points, feel empty.

In conclusion, it's an average film - not terrible, not great. The second act is the standout part. Sami Bouajila is the star of this, though props to Guillaume Gouix too.

Clocking in just around 8) minutes makes it a fast in your face flick where we do follow a gang of robbers always succeeding in what they do until one of them makes a mistake and things quickly turns into a disaster.

No fun at all, action all over and a good simple story but it's the bruutal way of live that makes it worth seeing. It's on Netflix but with the French title.

I liked this one because no Hollywoodish style.

I was interested in watching this French crime drama/actioner to see what they would accomplish on a budget smaller than a Hollywood blockbuster. The look of the movie is acceptable, though throughout it's clear that the movie is on a somewhat more limited scale. But that isn't really the problem with the movie. Whether you are French or not, most likely you'll find the movie to be mostly drab. There's far too much talk, and none of the talk is particularly colorful or interesting. As for the action sequences, they are okay, but due to the aforementioned lower budget, they are not as grand scale or exciting as in Hollywood movies. Not an engaging movie, as you've probably concluded, though it's brief running time (81 minutes) does prevent it from joining the list of all time worst crime/action movies.
